This dive site presents a unique underwater experience centered around a historical wreck. The site is suitable for experienced divers, offering depths ranging from 100 to 107 feet. In 1946, a World War II fighter plane experienced engine failure during a training mission and crashed into the ocean, creating this remarkable dive destination. Within the fuselage of the aircraft, you'll find schools of goat-fish and soldier fish, providing an intriguing glimpse into the past. The area is also home to large resident moray eels, garden eels, and occasionally stingrays. Due to the wreck’s depth and potential currents, it's considered an advanced dive.
